Study of Strong-Column Weak-Beam Concept on Seismic Capacity of Buildings of Varying Heights
Abstract: The design philosophy of the strong-column weak-beam (SCWB) in which plastic flexibility is allowedto occur only in beams while the expanded columns are widely accepted in the independentearthquake design codes of steel. Under this method of harvesting, earthquake power is dispersedmainly by plastic hinges on beams and columns. The plastic strength of flexible beams and columnbases can greatly affect the response of the SCWB framework. During the lasting earthquake, theplastic …
